Al Lets Loose

Fresh off her debate with Andrew Cuomo, Republican Attorney General candidate Jeanine Pirro is likely to catch the buzz of the day with publication of her husband Al’s semi-tell all piece in New York magazine.

In the piece, entitled “Can This Marriage Be Saved?” Pirro’s husband confides that he was tired of his wife’s political ambitions, and blames some of his woes, such as a felony tax fraud conviction, on the fact that she was Westchester County DA.

(UPDATE:Â The link has been fixed. Thanks for the heads up).Â

Had she not been in that high profile job, he contends, he might have gotten off with a civil rather than criminal sentence.

“I didn’t want her to run for anything,” said Al, who is described as “trim, fit and almost completely gray.”

It’s a long piece, recounting the power couple’s history together, how they came up in Westchester County politics, putting on glamorous parties and the like, but a life which had its “speed bumps” such as a rocky marriage,Â an extramarital child,Â and complaints by Al that his wife’s political ambitions put financial strain on the family and drove him to a psychiatrist.
